The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 609

"What?" Vivica frowned, her disappointment painfully obvious. "You mean... we really have to wait until after the babies are born and I'm fully recovered?"

Quintina watched her friend's crestfallen reaction and decided to tease her a little more. "What else did you expect? Honestly, why do I get the feeling you're the one who's getting antsy? Starting to understand why I told you physical intimacy is a big deal in a marriage? I still can't believe you were perfectly fine with just 'making do' with Fletcher for the rest of your life."

Vivica pressed her lips together, her face burning with embarrassment, completely unable to form a rebuttal.

Truth be told, she hadn't expected to be 'that kind of person' either.

Mainly because she had never had any real experience with it before. Having never known how incredible it could be, she had never felt the lack of it. It hadn't felt like a sacrifice.

But now she knew. And the experiences Joseph had given her were nothing short of mind-blowing.

So now that the brakes were abruptly hit—and knowing they'd be sidelined for over a year—she didn't just feel bad for him. She actually felt... a little deprived herself.

Seeing that her friend was too embarrassed to even speak, Quintina finally threw her a lifeline with a laugh. "Alright, alright, I'm just messing with you."

"What do you mean?" Vivica looked up, searching her friend's face. "We can?"

"No, I'm definitely not guaranteeing anything," Quintina replied, her tone turning serious. "For a standard, single-baby pregnancy, as long as you avoid the first and third trimesters, and as long as the mother is feeling okay, couples can occasionally be intimate—gently, of course."

"In fact, some specialists even recommend that if a woman goes past her due date and labor still hasn't started, a little bedroom activity can actually help induce contractions naturally."

Vivica's eyes widened. "That's a real thing?"
